Scalr 2.5 supports PostgreSQL

Posted on 2012-02-08

Hello PostgreSQL community,

Open-source project Scalr is very pleased to announce its support for PostgreSQL. From now on, Scalr and PostgreSQL users can enjoy low maintenance on the cloud- including automatic backups, recoveries, and ease of administering, along with added auto-scaling.

-- Features --

Pre-configured image with sensible parameters and Scalr generated unique password. The users may use CloudWatch metrics at no additional charge to monitor deployment. Backups and snapshots can be easily automated, run via API calls or manually. Auto-scaling is launched when read traffic reaches client-defined threshold. In case of an host failure, the instance will be automatically replaced. Scalr provides read replicas for read-heavy applications.

All these features are detailed on our website: http://scalr.net/features/databases/postgres/.
